With all of the excitement surrounding the Guinness Six Nations, one could be forgiven for forgetting that Super Rugby Pacific is now just over a week away from kick-off.

Now in the second season of its South Africanless format, Super Rugby’s latest format looks more intriguing than it has for quite some time.

Given the continued participation of the Fijian Drua, Moana Pasifika and Western Force. The tournament now looks set on a more sustainable and engaging format.

As the best of Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji get ready to do battle here is a little reminder of what one of the league’s biggest stars will be bringing to table this season.

All Black loose forward Ardie Savea is widely regarded as one of the very best players on the planet and rightly so.

Long gone are the days of Ardie being known as Julian’s little brother as the barn storming backrow has firmly cemented himself as one of the very few undroppable All Blacks.

It is moments like this one that further prove his simply ridiculous talent level and remind us all of just why this season’s Super Rugby could be the best yet.
